What to Expect in a Session

Wellness Massage is massage that is intended to attain or maintain wellness. Each session is custom tailored to the specific needs or goals of the individual. Structured around Swedish massage, Christine adds techniques from a variety of modalities such as deep tissue, myofascial release,  trigger point therapy, postitional release, neuromuscular reprogramming and cupping as needed to obtain the desired results.

• Each massage begins at the appointed time and continues for the allotted time. Plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early to allow time to update Christine on your needs/goals and to undress for the session. Allow yourself 5-10 minutes after the session to get off the table and dress.
• Everyone must complete a health history prior to the first session. There will be no massage if it is not completed. The health history takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Please plan accordingly.
• Twenty-four hour notice is required for cancellations with the exception of emergencies and illness. Less than 24 hour notice will result in the client being responsible for the amount of the session unless the appointment is filled.
• Please reschedule if you are sick and have a fever.

Certain medical conditions require a physician’s written approval prior to massage.  These include but are not limited to:  cancer of any kind, heart conditions of any kind, uncontrolled Hypertension, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, and any condition that could potentially spread through the blood or lymph or over the skin.  Feel free to call or email Christine if you have any questions.

Pregnant women should receive their Ob/Gyn’s written consent prior to massage. Christine can only massage pregnant women who are considered low risk. Women should not receive massage while in their first trimester due to a risk of miscarriage.
